Jassin hospitalized at RSCM

JAKARTA (JP): Literary critic Hans Bague Jassin was admitted
to the Cipto Mangun Kusumo General Hospital (RSCM) in Central
Jakarta on Friday after a stroke.

His sister-in-law, Rina Sudirman, told The Jakarta Post
yesterday that Jassin was under close observation after being
transferred from the nearby St. Carolus Hospital.

"We still hope he will recover though he is now very weak,"
Rina said.

Jassin, 80, was accompanied by his wife, Yuliko, and relatives
at RSCM.

Since he retired from lecturing at the University of Indonesia
10 years ago, Jassin has published several books and articles.

Jassin heads the HB Jassin Literary Documentation Center at
the Taman Ismail Marzuki arts center. (03)
